Conviction Of a Publisher.
annapolis Recor


The recent conviction of William II. Richard
sod, in Baltimore county, for libeling Judge d.
vid Fowler, ought to teach wholesome lesson to
all publishers who have no conscience in the COL
lection of news and no discretion in the publica-
ton of comments.
Mr.. Richardson charged Judge Fowler with
sitting in railroad case in one of which compa-
mics he was director and, therefore, an interest
ed party. La fact Richardson conducted his
paper on the scale ofthe ancient Ishmaelite-
hand against every man."
Now the grand jury of Baltimore county raised
its mighty arm against Richardson and indicted
him, and, on trial, he was convicted.
Then Richardson appealed to the Court of APP
peals, his main point of objection to the mode and
manner of his conviction being that the Court
below would not allow him to prove that he had
been deceived as to the facts of the charge he had
made and that he had made them in good faith.
The Court of Appeals said the Court below was
right; that it was no defence for man to say he
was mistaken in the libel he had published, for,
when he pleads justifcatio in the publication of
2 libel, nothing but the undilgted truth will do.
Ma beliefs will answer.
Liberty of the press is priceless blessing.
License to libel does not exist. The conviction
of liBeler now and then keeps the unsteady and
conscieneeIess somewhere near the boundaries of
